Chapter 161: Artificial sleepwalking

Lawrence sat in a cubicle in a cheap café and couldn't contain the memory of the suffering of the Abrahamic family over the years.

Since the split into small families and scattered all over the country, the control of the elders over the family members has been reduced to the lowest point, and a large number of Abrahams are reluctant to be promoted in order to avoid the impact of the curse, and always stay in Sequence 8 or Sequence 9, and even try to become extraordinary at all, just want to live a peaceful and beautiful life as an ordinary person with a certain knowledge and wealth.

The Council of Elders considers this an act of forgetting the glory of the family, but they cannot deal with it strictly because it is tantamount to self-destruction.

In this situation, the upper echelons of the Abrahamic family have emerged to change the current of thought, they imitate the master-apprentice inheritance system of the school of life, and cultivate non-family members, hoping that after they are promoted to the high rank, they can in turn help Abraham solve the curse that has existed for 15,600 years, and find the ancestor Bethel Abraham who disappeared in the "War of the Four Emperors".

This plan went very smoothly at the beginning, and the apprentices who didn't need to worry about the curse were carefully cultivated by the Abraham family, and they became stronger and promoted rapidly, and in just ten years, there were several Sequence 5 powerhouses among them, and none of the Abraham family's direct Extraordinary Ones were Sequence 6.

The backbone was too weak, the branches were too strong, and the seeds of tragedy were planted, and the careerists among the disciples set their sights on the few powerful seals owned by the Abrahams.

Their plot failed, but it also brought serious after-effects, with all non-family members of Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 Extraordinaires believing that their position within the Abrahamic family did not match their own strength, and that they were not trusted to gain control of certain seals.

In the process of back and forth, hard negotiations, and mutual compromises, an accident happened, and one of the Sequence 5 "Travelers" named Boutis was tempted by the "True Creator" to join the Aurora Society, causing a terrible disaster.

In this disaster, the upper echelons of the Abraham family were almost completely wiped out, and more than half of the few powerful seals were lost, only three remained, and Lawrence's half-brother Richard was killed.

Boutis received great benefits, not only collected all the extraordinary materials needed, but also successfully overcame the obstacles with the help of the "True Creator", stepped into the demigod sequence, and became one of the five sages of the Aurora Society.

After the disaster, the re-established House of Abraham Presbyterians reflected on their actions over the years, but could not find a solution to the problem, and feelings of negativity, depression, and despair enveloped the hearts of the few remaining family members.

Lawrence, unwilling to be in such an environment, unwilling to face sighs and oppressive atmospheres every day, found an excuse to leave the presbyterian hall and come to Beckland in search of another half-brother, Lauboro, and half-brother Sam.

Now, he suddenly found that his father's branch seemed to be the only one left.

He himself was nearly eighty years old, and all his children died in the catastrophe brought by Boutis.

Just thinking about this, he was sad and unstoppable.

What pained him the most was that he couldn't see the hope of revenge, and he couldn't see the dawn of the family's glory reappearing.

"I'm very old, and I've been traumatized before, so I don't dare to use extraordinary abilities unless I have to, which could cause a loss of control or a curse...... What is the future of the Abrahams?" Lawrence took a sip of his Filmer coffee and fell into a long silence.

............

Back in his rented house, Forth immediately entered the bedroom and locked the wooden door.

She sat down on the edge of the bed, adjusted her state, and whispered the name that represented hope and the future:

"O fool who does not belong to this age;"

"You are the mysterious lord above the gray mist;"

"You are the king of yellow and black who rules good fortune. ”

"I want to pray to you and describe what happened to me today. ”

"I met the brother of the husband of the old lady who made me an 'apprentice', who is suspected of being a member of a certain family......"

"I'm hiding something related to the occult realm, but I'm worried that he has extremely strong divination abilities and can find out the full truth......"

......

At this time, Crane was right above the gray fog.

He saw the crimson star representing the "magician" swell outward, causing ripples, and heard cascading supplications spread.

After figuring out the details, Klein tapped his fingers on the edge of the ancient long table and said to himself silently:

"It's very cautious, I know to ask the fool for help. ”

"And, your guess is correct, the sequence 7 corresponding to 'apprentice' is called 'astrologer'......"

Recently, after reading the Book of Secrets, he quickly devised a plan to help the other party interfere with divination through rituals.

"I have to say that after being promoted to Sequence 7 and having the Book of Secrets, I am becoming more and more like a real god above the gray mist, of course, for the time being, I am just an empty shell......

"Speaking of which, I have performed many times in front of Miss 'Justice' and Mr. 'The Hanged Man', and I have completely deceived them, why has there been no corresponding spiritual feedback, and the progress of the potion has not been faster, does it have to be in the real world? Well, it could also be that the 'applause' of the audience, the 'applause' of the audience, was cut off by the gray fog, and they couldn't directly affect me, just like the 'Eternal Sun' and the 'True Creator' couldn't penetrate the gray fog and find this mysterious space......

"In this way, the reaction of the gray fog and this mysterious space is very mechanical, not agile enough, and lacks intelligence...... For me, though, it's actually a good thing......"

In the midst of his thoughts, Crane embodied the corresponding knowledge in an old parchment and threw it into the crimson star, which symbolized the "magician".

An endless gray mist suddenly filled in front of Furth's eyes, and an illusory yellow-brown parchment descended from the sky.

She saw that there was knowledge written on it, and her heart was calm.

With Mr. "Fool" in charge, the gentleman named Lawrence would not have been able to get the correct revelation in the divination!

She had seen a lot of evil spirits harming people, and she didn't really trust the "fool" that much, but the full moon curse made her rely on the other party.

No matter how bad it is, it would have been a loss of life, and without the help of Mr. Fool, I would have lost control of myself as a monster during the last Blood Moon...... Every day I live, I earn one more day, and this is all a gift from Mr. "Fool", and he can take it back whenever he wants...... Well, it's better not to take it back...... Furth took a breath and lit the two candles that symbolized the fool.

The initial steps of this ritual were no different from those she had mastered before, until the candle was lit and essential oils, hydrosols, herbal powders, and other items were thrown into the fire.

When the faint and ethereal fragrance permeated the room, and a faint and illusory mist enveloped the entire altar, Firth quickly adjusted his body and mind according to the contents of the "parchment", entered into meditation, and silently recited the honorific name corresponding to the "fool", over and over again.

Such monotonous and repetitive behavior made the already calm and peaceful due to visualization of Falth slowly enter a state of mental slumber and spiritual divergence, and the whole person was both confused and nightmarish, but also maintained a strange lucidity, only to feel that the spirit was fluttering, constantly going up.

This has certain similarities with the process of "secret agreement" achieved with the help of external objects, but it is different in many places, it is a technique of spiritism, which is used to communicate with spirits at a higher level, and to the extreme, it can even allow extraordinary people to roam the spirit world while retaining their strange sobriety.

Some extraordinary people who are good at influencing the mind call it "artificial sleepwalking", and they can use techniques such as hypnosis to get ordinary people into this state as well.

In this way, ordinary people seem to be asleep, but they can answer questions, and they seem to have their eyes closed and their mouths closed, but they can discover the various spirits that exist around them, and complete a certain degree of communication.

The reason why Klein did not let Firth use the "secret covenant ritual" was because it could only give knowledge, give direct effects such as purification or erosion, and give the other person's spirit a wonderful experience, and could not interfere with another person's divination and other things.

To put it simply, the "secret ritual" directly affects the target's own spiritual body, astral spirit body, mental body, and etheric body, and the positive or negative states associated with this are eliminated.

In a daze, Furth felt himself drift back to the majestic ancient palace above the gray mist, and saw Mr. "Fool" standing high above him, looking down on everything.

Klein looked at the phantom of the "magician" outlined by the crimson starlight, and unhurriedly picked up a piece of paper figure that he had just found from the clutter pile in the corner.

As a "soothsayer" who has been promoted twice, he has many ways to interfere with other people's divination without the help of magical items.

At this time, under the influence of the ritual, the mysterious space above the gray mist shook slightly, and some power flowed due to being pried.

With his left hand, Crane pressed the "Black Emperor" card on the surface of the bronze table, connecting it to his own spirit, bringing about an increase in personality, just like he used to use the "Yang Flame Charm" and the Azk Bronze Whistle to strengthen the spirit and raise the level.

Then, with a flick of his right wrist, he threw the paper figure out.

The paper figure Huo Ran grew larger, and twelve pairs of black angel wings cut out of paper grew from his back, and the feathers were lifelike.

The paper "angel" quickly pierced through the crimson light, overlapping with the illusory figure of the "magician".

Silently, it burned and disappeared completely.

Half-asleep, Furth seemed to see a majestic angel, and saw the other party wrapping himself layer after layer with many pairs of pitch-black wings!

After some time, Furth suddenly woke up from his "artificial sleepwalking" state, with only three candles burning silently on the altar and the fog that permeated the room, and the familiar ethereal scent on the tip of his nose.

"Angel ......" Furth was so stunned that he forgot the closing ceremony for a while.

PS: There should be two three shifts in the remaining days of this month, but which two days exactly, I'm not sure, these days will be caused by the fatigue caused by the adjustment, and I am so tired that I can't do it.
